Cross River State government is spreading major holiday cheer, granting all civil and public servants a generous 20-day leave from December 15, 2025, to January 5, 2026, so they can fully soak up Christmas and New Year celebrations with family and friends.
Signed by Head of Service Mr. Orok Okon in circular Ref: GO/HOS/4/Vol.II1/277, the break excludes only essential duty workers to keep vital services humming—Permanent Secretaries and department heads are tasked with rolling it out statewide for full compliance.
This festive push perfectly syncs with Carnival Calabar, Africa’s largest street party hitting its 20th edition since Donald Duke launched it in 2005, turning the state into a non-stop party zone of music, dance, and cultural vibes that draw crowds from everywhere.
Residents are buzzing about the rare extended break, giving everyone time to recharge amid the yuletide magic!
